COFFEE AND A GOOD PIE

 


This made me laugh this morning!!  

I grabbed a cup this morning to start my morning coffee...  You know how it is when you first get up out of bed.... eyes barely open, just needing to get some coffee in you.  

It wasn't until after I joined Sam outside that I realized my cup had a popsicle on it!!  It definitely is "Sweet Summertime" but I feel like a nice serving of lemonade or fruit punch might taste better in this particular cup.  

Oh well....I drank my coffee and pretended that I had snowflakes on the front of my cup!!  It tasted pretty GOOD!!

Switching Gears Here!!

So, my kiddos were in Florida all last week.. 
They enjoyed the beach and all of the FUN things that go along with being on vacation..in Florida.

Our family has taken many vacations to Panama City and one of our all time favorite places to eat is "Captain Anderson's."  

If you are looking for GREAT Food, great service, a great atmosphere....AND the BEST desserts in Panama City, then Captain Anderson's is a must!!

Well.. Shanda, Tom and the family once again visited this awesome restaurant while they were there.  Not just once....but twice!!

One of my favorite desserts from there is the coconut cream pie!!

Guess What?

They brought back a WHOLE coconut cream pie for Sam and I to enjoy!!


LOL.....we did share with Trista and others that stopped by.  

We live 11 hours from PC, which is 704 miles away.
Tom and Shanda....purchased a styrofoam cooler...they froze water bottles the night before they were to head home, placed the frozen bottles in the bottom of the cooler and set the pie on top of them.   

This pie....was PERFECT when it arrived here at my house!!  

This is what I call LOVE.

Well friends...the temps today are suppose to reach near 100 degrees.  A dip in the pool will most likely happen...

NEW WEEK...NEW BLESSINGS...NEW OPPORTUNITIES!!
HAPPY MONDAY...

What a really "sweet" (literally) surprise! Wow, that's true love to carry a pie like that all the way 700 miles, and keeping it cool enough to be perfect when it gets to you! That's really sweet. And I love your popsicle cup too! It's fun to do things different once in a while! Maybe you should've had iced coffee in that mug! LOL.

Love in a styrofoam container !!!
How awesome is that?
Weather will be in the high 90's until next Monday and then it zooms to 103F. Ugh, I'm right there with you on the sticky heat. Our poor AC goes lickety Split for hours and hours. I hate to see what our next bill will be.
Enjoy your dip in the pool.

Would you believe, we've never been to PCB. Nevertheless, you had me at coconut cream! I'm going to remember the kids' clever way of keeping that pie cool.
